I am finally setting up my Dragon Realm. I have adjusted several dragons to be able to put in the "neighborhood" (not on lots) as they were too big for my lot.

I give credit to the creators of these wonderful objects. I do not take credit for any of it. I just download and play. Thank you for your wonderful work.

UPDATE: @Murfeelee gave me permission to share the dragons that I changed to CAW enabled. I have 5 dragon links to share. I tried to figure out how to share a folder on SimsFileShare but I couldn't figure it out quickly.

Still at the Franklin Market lot on 3 Main Street, but this time to share pictures of my second build/reno in The Center of @one-plumbob’s beautiful world Pleasant Isle, which will be called Audre in my save. 

As was the case with The Village Bakery, we’re in the blue building at the far right.

This time, however, we’ll be taking a look at the first floor shop which I’ve named Sunflower Fresh Market.

I came up with the name when I realized I had a bunch of unused cc with sunflowers on them (like the welcome mat for example). After placing some of those objects throughout the shop I thought “why not include “sunflower” in the name as well”.  

Through the front entrance we have a small grocery store. Here’s what it looks like from just beyond the door:

Sunflower Fresh Market will sell the bulk of my food items. That’s everything but meat, cheese, fish, and quick meals and snack items aside maybe yogurt and cereal.

A little further in, and we can see I’ve again used that wall art by @murfeelee​ designed to look like barn doors (I used it originally in Conquer’s vacation home). One of the pattern options had this giant split sunflowers, and piece just so happen to go with that wood wall pattern I’d selected for the bulk goods section of the store. 

You may have noticed that like The Village Bakery, there are empty shelves. Once I’ve route tested, I will have a sim purchase the food items from the store, then I will stock the inventory and the shelves.

Here are some shots from the bulk foods section of the grocery counter/employee station.

I wanted this shop to look like perhaps it had history in the town. Like maybe the family that owns it have always been grocers, and though the place has been renovated, a couple of items from the original shop decorate the shelf area near the register and the store in general.

Finally, here’s a shot of the front counter from another angle, as well as a shot of the store from behind the register.

Today we’ll take a look at the final building on the Franklin Market lot (originally Franklin Apartments), located on 3 Main Street in @one-plumbob‘s custom world Pleasant Isle. For visual reference, that’s the grey building to the left:

It’s in this section of the lot, that I built, what I’ve decided (decided as in as I’m writing this, lol) to call The Pet Stop, because it contains a pet store, pet grooming area, and a veterinary office. I mentioned in my post for The Nectar Shop & Formagore that The Pet Stop was actually set up before I worked on the Nectar shop. At the time, I remember feeling a combination of boredom and anxiety, and thought working on a shop I’d never attempted before would better feed my creative needs. It worked, although, do to the space, and my own limited abilities, there were some things I was unable to achieve with this store.

Here’s the front entrance:

If you recall, back in July, I put out a post requesting assistance with finding deco puppies and kittens. Those were for those little window box displays beneath the cat and dog signs. 

I have these memories from family movies I saw during my childhood of people taking their children to get a family dog or ending up with a new pet because the kid saw puppies through the display window and the parents couldn’t resist the child’s pleading. So when I saw how One-plumbob had set up their deco pet shop, I recalled those images from tv, and they inspired my reno.

As a quick aside I want to thank @murfeelee, @browniecap, and especially @omedapixel for helping me in my cc search for this reno, and the latter, for converting some objects for my personal use. 

Okay, now we move inside. Here’s a shot of the main shopping area from just beyond the entrance:

I don’t think I’ve ever used that fire hydrant (or any really) in any of my builds or renos until now. I’m pretty sure, it was the last thing I placed, either because I felt the spot right be the corridor was too bare, or because I came across it in buydebug and thought this would be a good opportunity to throw this in. In hindsight, I wish it was red, or red and white. I can’t remember if this hydrant can’t be recolored, or if red wasn’t an option among the others or if I went with blue and white on my own when setting this up. The point is, I am not happy with it now that I look at this image.

Here’s another shot from the entrance turned just slightly.

At this angle you can see where I’ve placed more deco animals. 

I came across those cages awhile ago. don’t remember where they came from, but as soon as I knew I was making a pet store I was excited to use them. I had to do some shrinking and placement fandangoing to get those dogs (and wolves, but pretend they’re dogs ok, lol) in there, but I think the end result is pretty nice. 

Here are some more shots of different sections of the store:

If you haven’t guessed by now, I went on a pet download binge for this. I had a lot of  items already, went ahead and got the rest of the items in @aroundthesims​‘ pet store collection, and Omedapixel’s pet item set (I think those things are yours). I was also lucky that around the time I was finishing up @phoebejaysims​ had completed their Pet Bowl Requires Food mod. I’ve stashed the bags for that on that shelf (see the pic immediately following) to the far right with the kitty litter boxes beneath it.

Here are more angles of the shop:

You can kind of see the area where I’ve got toy boxes, and dishes set up as like my doggie section. I didn’t realize it until now that this little section as well as the one for cats (just beside the kitten and pup display), can’t really be seen well from any of my photos. Sorry about that.

Going back to when I mentioned that there were some things with this build that I was unable to accomplish. 

I didn’t have enough space to put in cages and terrarium’s for minor pets. As an alternative I tried to create a wall display of tanks as I’d downloaded a custom terrarium that has been removed from the base. Unfortunantely, I couldn’t figure out how to raise those tanks as they don’t work with OMSP, and I don’t have experience with some of the other tricks using cheats and other mods that allow one to raise objects. For now, I just have to be satisfied knowing minor pets can be purchased from the pet store register.

Speaking of which, here are the shots of the sales floor near and from behind the registers:

I might try to figure out how to use those build tricks later on, or expand the pet shop to include what I had to leave out in the future. Perhaps I’ll make a more specialized pet place, for minor pets and edit this for just cats and dogs.

This is Beta's General and Amigo, Gamma Fox, Warriors Remi and Natalie. These are more character's of: Her Destiny Series (8 total books) by Josie Marie on Wattpad. I will not explain these characters just in case "you" might want to read the books. There will be one more set of characters to post, no explanation.

This is Alpha Kian and Alpha Reeve of the Radburn Pack. Alpha Reeve is the main character of: Her Destiny Series (8 total books) by Josie Marie on Wattpad. Her life's journey. The good and bad and how she learned from each experience. In the story line she is the first Female Alpha and she and her mate are dual Alpha's.

These are my interpretation of the characters from the book.

Yummy.....deer!

Here are pictures of the second deco shop located at the Open Air Market (once the Trade Winds Spa and Bistro) in my edited version of Isla Paradiso, which I made for Conquer’s vacation.

I’ve made several boutiques at this point, but I’ve never used the clothing pedestals or the stylist station. I prefer to use NRAAS’ master controller to enter create-a-sim, and I only use the stylist option via the mod, when I need to edit special outfits like my sim’s diving suit. 

Here are more pictures of Conquer’s Isla Paradiso vacation house. These shots are of the open living room and kitchen area on the first floor. 

I based the interior color scheme off of those couches (don’t remember where I got those from) and that fake boho barn door painting flanking the windows behind the staircase. I don’t have a direct link to that particular piece of cc, but if I remember correctly it’s one of @murfeelee‘s creations. 

I went with red electronics after I realized that deco folding chair (I think that’s from one of Dot’s coastal sets over on TSR) next to the plants was not recolorable, and tried to make the orange on the Jukebox match the cushions on the couch and the dining chairs in the kitchen.
